Repost in Memory of Bricker59
This is the post that started the friendship between Bricker and me. It was originally posted on Xanga in April, 2009 and was intended to be a parody of his writing. We read and subscribed to each other's blogs before then, but this took us to the next level and we became good friends... especially after I actually sent him some cookies. RIP Thom - you are missed.

Why I Can't Marry Bricker (Poor Thing) - [WARNING: Naked Art]
I made a grave mistake yesterday. I revealed too much of my true self on xanga and Bricker59 fell in love with me (poor thing).
It may have been my tousled, glossy red locks.
It might have been the twinkle in my large, piercing blue eyes.
Maybe it was my sexy neon blue underwear (which looks great on me).
Or perhaps my irresistible Rubenesque curves.
It could have been any of those things, but it wasn’t. It was this:
And these:He asked me to marry him and I had to disappoint him (poor thing). I hope he had enough beer in his refrigerator to mend his broken heart.
(Yeah, that probably would have been enough.)You’ll always have a special place in my heart, Bricker, but it’s for the best that we stay apart. Our combined magnificence would be too much for xanga.
And besides, there’s this guy I really like.I guess I’m just a sucker for long, flowing black locks, manly shoulders and a piercing eye. I’m sure you understand.

Oh, no -- Thom was a good friend, and one of my faves on Xanga! I was thinking of him just the other day -- what happened?
Hey Janet,Thom had brain cancer, Cancer Sux!
